原版通读。这本书写的不是大历史 , 而是比较先进文明和落后文明的差异 ,并试图找出原因 . 从地理环境入手 , 以动植物的驯养(尤其是大型哺乳动物)和扩散为重点 , 来解释问题 .
评分启蒙书
评分几个月的时间慢慢读完,刷新了世界观(Literally). 这就是最好的科普书,有理论,有证据,但是写作风格平易近人,没有科学基础的人看起来也不会吃力。因为这本书的研究实在太过根本,即使明白了缺陷,人类社会能摆脱几千几百万年的环境历史积累起来的枷锁吗?
评分An overrated history book with plenty of factual mistakes and logical fallacies
评分终于看完了一遍,然后,然后,觉得得快点看第二遍,然后做笔记。这样的历史书才是我喜欢的,不是事实的堆砌,更多是背后的逻辑,所谓的历史科学。呀,我又想起了基地的心理史学^_^
贾雷德·戴蒙德,加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校医学院生理学教授以生理学开始其科学生涯,进而研究演化生物学和生物地理学,被选为美国艺术与科学院、国家科学院院士、美国哲学学会会员,曾获得麦克阿瑟基金会研究员基金及全国地理学会伯尔奖,在《发现》、《博物学》、《自然》和《地理》杂志上发表过论文200多篇。
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.
作者的观点与黄仁宇的类似。 1环境差异决定了当时的历史选择,从而对后来事件产生了决定性的影响。 2 各大洲的环境是不同的,从而有了不同的机遇。 3亚欧大陆的横向轴线,非洲与美洲的纵向轴线,以及澳洲的独立,影响了传播。 4环境差异决定了当时的历史选择,从而对后来事...
评分零、 戴蒙德的专业是生物学和新几内亚人类学考察,除此之外写的都是科普书,而且前后重复(后面所有的书不过是扩写他的第一本书第三种猩猩而已),观点陈旧(他的人类学理论训练很可能停留在人类学2.0版本的反思民族志之前,因此习以为常地使用人类学1.0版本的西方中心论或东方...
评分 评分 评分0. 发现书看一半时往往更愿意写评论。常常看完了之后当初的兴奋也没了。 所以,这本砖头般厚实的书今天刚刚K完四分之一,因为兴奋莫名,所以先来说几句。要是看完了还有要讲的,再来添吧。。。 这本书已经流行了好一阵子了,可是这个书名老是让我想起那个叫“Gun & Roses” ...
